In preparing to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this removes the discouraged use of AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK in favor of the smaller SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK by converting from ahash-wrapped-shash to direct shash. By removing a layer of indirection this both improves performance and reduces stack usage. The stack allocation will be made a fixed size in a later patch to the crypto subsystem. The bulk of the lines in this change are simple s/ahash/shash/, but the main logic differences are in drbd_csum_ee() and drbd_csum_bio(), which externalizes the page walking with k(un)map_atomic() instead of using scattergather.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
